She was noticed on a large scale after appearing in legendary (depending on who you ask) artist Grimes music video for Genesis. If you aren&#8217;t familiar with her there are three things you should have in mind. Sex, Sex and Sex. She wields her sexuality like a double edged sword ready to nick a naysayers head off. <strong>Brooke Candy<\/strong> is a woman who is doing more than taking charge in the rap game; she\u2019s kidnapping you, taking you home and making you lick her boots. And guess what? You like it.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Mykki-Blanco-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Mykki-Blanco-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Mykki Blanco-1\" width=\"625\" height=\"425\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11633\" srcset=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Mykki-Blanco-1.jpg 625w, http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Mykki-Blanco-1-300x204.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Closing out the show was main headliner, New York Native\/Poet\/Performance Artist who raps under the persona <a href=\"http:\/\/mykkiblancoworld.com\/#\/music\">Mykki Blanco<\/a>.
